Puro – Rosé Seasoning

PURO Condimento Rosé by Alico, light, pink & fruity

The PURO Condimento Rosé by Alico is a light, delicate pink balsamic seasoning from Sorbara near Modena. Mild and balanced, with a interplay of sweet and sour. Not a heavy, dark aceto, but a light-footed summer seasoning for light dishes.

PURO Condimento Rosé is a light balsamic seasoning from the family-run Alico manufactory in Sorbara near Modena, the home of Italian vinegar tradition since the late 1980s. Aged on the basis of grape must concentrate and wine vinegar and delicately colored pink with a plant extract, it shows a mild sweet-acid balance that reminds you more of a summer wine than a classic dark aceto. A young alternative for your light cuisine.

Delicately pink, fruity, light-footed

The PURO Rosé flows from the bottle in a light raspberry tone, carries an aroma of stewed berries and finishes with a slightly fruity sweetness. Be surprised by how much character can reside in a pink seasoning. This is what balsamic is like in summer.

The aroma is reminiscent of ripe raspberries, a hint of strawberry, and the fresh touch of quince. The Puro Condimento alimentare Rosé plays with its acidity and the grape must concentrate without dominating it. The consistency is fine and syrupy.

What distinguishes it from the classic dark aceto is its light character – it retreats where its black sibling likes to push to the fore. You can dose it like a good wine: 3 to 5 drops are enough; it doesn't want any more. A seasoning with good manners.

Enjoy it with summer salad and strawberries

Light summer cuisine calls for the Rosé, even when it comes to vinegar – a few drops over mixed leaf salad with goat cheese, over steamed fish, over strawberries with vanilla ice cream.

It shows off particularly well with fish carpaccio or raw tuna, where its delicate tone does not mask the fine natural flavor. For light meat like veal or chicken breast, it provides a fruity edge that does not require heavy sweetness. Ripe peach with a few drops of good olive oil and a pinch of coarse sea salt makes summer on the plate with it.

In the patisserie, it unfolds its second talent. Panna cotta, goat cream cheese mousse, and white chocolate parfait are elevated to another league by 2 to 3 drops of PURO Rosé. Also with strawberries, raspberries, or marinated grapes – fruit meets fruit and both elevate each other.

Alico from Sorbara, since the late 80s

Alico is a family-run acetaia from Sorbara near Bomporto, right in the heartland of Aceto Balsamico di Modena. Founded in the late 1980s to unite family tradition, expertise, and a passion for balsamic under one roof.

The manufactory works in small batches, far from industrial mass production, and belongs to the Consorzio Tutela Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP. The PURO line is Alico's own design beyond the classic IGP requirement – seasonings that do not follow the old formula but appear in three profiles: dark, white, and rosé. The Rosé Condimento is the youngest and lightest variant, intended for light cuisine.

Today, Alico has over 20 balsamic products in its range. In addition to the PURO series, the brands Fattoria Estense and Lodovico Campari run under the same roof – anyone who wants to try their way through the range will find the dark IGP balsamic there – young or aged. Hats off to a house that continues classic craftsmanship with a bright mind.

Over strawberries with vanilla

Stored cool and dark at 10 to 15 degrees, the fruit notes of the PURO Rosé will last for many months. A few drops are enough – over summer salad with goat cheese and walnuts, over strawberries with vanilla ice cream, over grilled fish with fresh herbs. The opened 250 ml bottle, when sealed, keeps for up to 12 months so that your fine fruit is preserved.
